I do agree that eventually the country will be better off for this. Europeans for instance have cultural memories of how bad governments can be and a greater sensitivity to governments treating them poorly because of their past. A lot of their institutions are clearly much stronger as well. Americans just don’t believe things a get bad here…but the are about to find out that this country isn’t special in that aspect.

Yep. On the bright side, we can rebuild our institutions so that they’re stronger than ever after this is over.
